Mind The Gap

We are now in the middle of the middle of the hungry gap. Winter roots, winter cabbage, cauliflower and leeks are now all over. The summer vegetables such as beans, courgette, tomatoes and cucumber are still some way off. At this time of year your boxes will contain more green leafy vegetables due to these being one of the few things that are available at this time of year. To give greater variety we are also buying in Spanish tomatoes and UK mushrooms. A seasonal treat at this time of year is green garlic, which will be appearing in your boxes most weeks along with the mixed salad bags. Please bear with us if there appears to be less in your boxes as we move to new season bunched carrots and onions, these items are more expensive than main crop varieties. We will pass on the savings once summer produce gets underway. We always aim to be cheaper than supermarket or Riverfords organic prices. Remember Trevalon vegetables are picked on the day of delivery so you can’t get any fresher (unless you grow your own).
